Features

Everything your homelab needs, in one workspace.

Rackpad isn't a single tool bolted onto another. Inventory, addressing, monitoring, compute and documentation share one data model — so a change in one place shows up everywhere it matters.

Deploy it See the screens
01 — Physical inventory

Know exactly what's in every rack unit.

Build labs, rooms and racks, then drop devices into dense elevations with switch-panel port mapping. Every device carries its type, template, ports, MACs, images and linked runbooks.

  • Front / rear / both rack elevation views
  • Custom device types, icons & parent classes
  • Typed cables linked to real endpoints
Racks / Rooms

02 — Network & addressing

IPAM, VLANs and WiFi that agree with reality.

Plan subnets, hand out DHCP scopes and reservations, protect gateways, and assign multiple IPs per device or interface — edited in place. WiFi controllers, SSIDs, APs, radios and clients live right alongside.

  • Subnets, scopes, reservations & zones
  • VLAN ranges with tagged / trunk context
  • Full WiFi inventory & roaming data

03 — Monitoring & operations

One dashboard for health, capacity and change.

Watch every device with ICMP, TCP, HTTP/HTTPS and SNMP v1/v2c/v3 checks, route alerts to email, Discord or Telegram, and let discovery scan a subnet and reconcile what it finds — all surfaced on a single operations dashboard.

  • SNMP trap receiver with VLAN / subnet sync
  • Discovery inbox with import reconciliation
  • Reports to PDF, CSV & Excel

04 — The Visualizer

Your whole environment as a living diagram.

A React Flow canvas that mirrors your real racks and rooms. Follow cable routes, overlay live health, trace a connection from a single port, reorder sections — then save the layout so it stays exactly how you left it.

  • Grouped rack, pyramid & loose-device layouts
  • Health & trace overlays, side-panel port picker
  • Saved positions per diagram
